Update on the new Maribyrnong River Footscray Wharf
NOTICE: Possible disruption to cyclists.
The Port of Melbourne advised from August 1 that works to redevelop Footscray Wharf as a commercial mooring facility for port vessels will involve a short part of the path south of Shepherds Bridge being realigned.
Cyclists traveling on the western side of the Maribyrnong River Trail south of the golden Budda (pictured) and Shepherd Bridge are asked to slow down and watch out for works occurring in the area and construction vehicles moving near and or across the cycle path.
Works will progress until early 2012.

It's good to see urban sprawl permitting continued boat use here. In the late-1980's Smiths Boat yard had a couple of hundred home build boats alongside the river on the west bank, between Footscray Rd and Dynon Rd. Real estate development was allowed to boot them out. The dollar won over maritime culture. A lot of boat building and sailing expertise was lost with that yard. I'm curious to see what develops with the new wharf.
What about fixing the wharf in front of Lonely Planet, 0.5km downstream. An iconic company with fencing and quarantined wharf between them and the river.
